But I think for me, why I was drawn to the piece is, at the core of the story, it's a love story to me - between Ed and Lorraine, between these two families who are asking for help and us who are in the business of giving help.

More quotes by Vera Farmiga
I am drawn to intimate, often uncomfortable portraits of a woman persevering and awakening.
Vera Farmiga
Whether youre making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, theres never enough time.
Vera Farmiga
It's a very different thing, religion and faith. Religion is man-made, it's man-regulated. And faith, you can define God as you wish. But I think they're two different things.
Vera Farmiga
I think God gave us senses of humor, and we should use them.
Vera Farmiga
I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.
Vera Farmiga
Music is what our feelings sound like.
Vera Farmiga
We're all sick of holy wars and bloodshed because religion is supposed to give us life and a better life and is supposed to bring out our best self. When it results in mass destruction and hatred and anxiety, it's the antithesis I think of what religion was designed to do.
Vera Farmiga
Sometimes music helps. If I feel that it's bogus, I'll literally just call myself out on camera and say that it's dishonest. You do whatever it takes.
Vera Farmiga
In these times, in this harsh, rude, warring world that we live in, where most of the bloodshed is 'My god is greater than your god,' and we're fighting in the name of our god, we have to find a way to peaceably coexist, spiritually.
Vera Farmiga
There are some times when I think acting can be a noble profession. And when those rare roles come along, like Down to the Bone, you have the opportunity to be of service.
Vera Farmiga
There really are three types of religious movies: the ones that make fun of it, the ones that vilify it and the ones that literally preach to the converted.
Vera Farmiga
I've done TV, but never where you're given this much time to live with a character, to study the tone and hone it and repair stuff, to go back and watch old episodes and go, Oh no, that's a misstep. That's a victory. I should do more of that, less of that.
Vera Farmiga
Am I ambitious? I used to be afraid of that word but now I think ambition is a good thing.
Vera Farmiga
I just want to make sure that the thing that I see in it initially, that I think it can be, is not just going to be a horror film and reduced to a jump here and a scream there. But that you can take something away from it.
Vera Farmiga
When you encounter sophistication in the creation of a female character, you thank the writers and you claim it.
Vera Farmiga
The more people know about you, the more face-time you get in the media, the harder your job becomes to create a character in whom people suspend disbelief.
Vera Farmiga
There's just a deeper level of sophistication in the writing of female characters on TV.
Vera Farmiga
I just wanted to make sure that yes, that those horror - they worked as a genre. To me, I just wanted to be touched by the film in the way that I saw plausible. Which is the story about compassion - giving and receiving it in those desperate times of need.
Vera Farmiga
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
Vera Farmiga
I've played a lot of mothers in my movies.
